[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]God, through the ages, has move in ways unexpected. He is, also, unpredictable and astounding in His methods. If we, as observers, regard only the present, there is no way we can say the outcome would be that surprising. We look back in our own experiences, examining it intently, and seeing it clearly that through those circumstances God had been faithful; the manners He fitted conditions, though sometimes seem contradictory, ended up exactly what He had in mind that were so remote in our expectation. The puzzles that confound, stole sleep, fogged our sense of direction, but in His perfect time unraveled itself.[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Man plans in what he sees as right, executes it, and hopes the result will be good; yet God, somehow behind the scene, weaves within these events the fulfillment His divine will. Tragedies viewed through short sighted eyes bend towards only the present, its devastation, and its protracted aftermath. Losses are heart rending, depressing, a dead end in a way, or even an annihilation of a dream, plan, future happiness, and life itself. Yet in His sovereignty, God steps from the shadows untangling the knots in such circumstances unraveling an unrivaled masterpiece in the life the individual who put his trust in Him. [/FONT]
